Definitions

  • a butt joint of the above-noted type is to be improved by means of the invention in such a way that it is no longer possible for an annular edge to become caught in the opposite pipe end and that, at the same time, the flange ring mounted on the pipe ends are secured at the annular edges even prior to tightening the clamping ring.
  • the flange rings When making the butt joint according to the invention, the flange rings must merely be placed or slipped onto the respective matching annular edges, as a result of which they are fixed in the proper position with respect to the pipe ends.
  • the annular edges By inserting the annular edges into the slit of the respective flange ring, it is impossible for the annular edge to become caught in the opposite pipe end and, when the clamping ring is mounted and tightened, an automatic axial and radial alignment of the two pipe ends can take place freely without an exact prior alignment.
  • the two free longitudinal edges of the flange ring abut against each other at a right angle while forming the slit into which the matching annular edge is inserted.
  • This embodiment is primarily preferable with relatively thick-walled constructions of the flange section.
  • the wall parallel to the annular edge can, according to claim 2, be constructed as a double wall, whereby the annular edge is pressed in between the two wall sections. Consequently, a secure fit is attained.
  • the possibility of an especially simple and good sealing is attained by embedding the annular edge, which is inserted into the slit, in sealing material in accordance with claim 3. In this way, the sealing is completely protected and cannot be altered in its position or influenced in its function when the pipe ends are mounted.
  • FIG. 1 an axial section through a butt joint
  • FIG. 2 a reduced illustration of the butt joint, shown in FIG. 1, during mounting of the clamping ring,
  • FIG. 3 a partial section through a pipe end with mounted flange ring in accordance with a first embodiment
  • FIG. 4 a partial section, similar to FIG. 3, through a second embodiment.
  • FIGS. 1-3 connects two pipe ends 10, made of a thin-walled round sheet metal pipe, with one another.
  • Each pipe 10 is flanged at its end to a circular radial annular edge 12.
  • a flange ring 14, having a triangular hollow section, abuts against each annular edge 12.
  • each flange ring 14 has a radial wall 16 adjacent to the annular edge 12, a wall 18 which leads back diagonally to the pipe from the outer end of wall 16 and a wall 20 adjacent to pipe 10.
  • a clamping ring 34 is mounted onto the outside of both flange rings 14, namely, in particular, also onto the inclined walls 18 thereof; said clamping ring 34 is interrupted in axial direction, which is not shown, so that it can be expanded and mounted onto the flange rings.
  • the two ends 36 and 38 of the clamping ring 34 overlap when the clamping ring is tightened, in the manner illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • An apron 42 with which a guide bearing 44, extending in peripheral direction of the clamping ring 34, is connected, is welded to the outer clamping ring end 36.
  • the screw part 46 of a screw clamp 48 firmly connected with the inner clamping ring end 38, is guided in a sliding manner in the guide bearing 44.
  • the radial wall 16 of the flange ring 14 which is parallel to the annular edge 12, has a radially inner free edge 22 which forms a slit 26, into which the annular edge 12 is inserted, together with the free edge 24 of the wall 20 extending parallel to the pipe end 10.
  • the hollow section of the flange ring 14 is filled with a sealing material 23 into which the annular edge 12 is, for the most part, embedded.
  • the radial wall 16 of the flange ring 14 is constructed as a double wall and has two wall sections 16' and 17', which are almost parallel or extend slightly diagonally to one another, as a result of pressing the annular edge 12 in, and are adjacent to the two sides of the annular edge 12.
  • Wall 18 proceeds from the outer end of wall section 16' and leads back diagonally to pipe end 10; wall 20, which is adjacent to pipe end 10, adjoins said wall 18.
  • the annular edge 12 is inserted into the slit 26' between wall sections 16' and 17' of the flange ring 14 from the radially inner side. This insertion can take place by means of press fitting, so that a good securing of the flange ring 14 on the pipe end 10 is attained in every case.
  • the sealing material 23' is, as sealing material 23 in the embodiment of the invention in FIG. 3, protected to a great extent against mechanical damage and outer stress. As a result, a tight and durable connection of the flange rings with the pipe ends is guaranteed.
  • the clamping ring 34 which already forms a closed ring with overlapping ends, yet is opened as far as possible, is hung over the flange ring 14 of the already firmly mounted pipe section 10 in the manner shown in FIG. 2.
  • the pipe section 10, which is not yet firmly mounted, is then hung from the bottom with its flange ring 14 into the clamping ring 34, which hangs loosely on the opposite pipe end, in the inclined position 10' which is drawn in with a broken line in FIG. 2, and then tilted upward into the position shown in solid lines.
  • the clamping ring 34 can subsequently be tightened in a manner which is not illustrated, whereby the two connecting flanges 14 are pressed against each other, preferably, by insertion of a sealing which is not illustrated.
